Here are Square Enix’s TGS screenshots. As expected, they had lots of RPGs.
Final Fantasy 13 was first introduced to us back in 2009, almost four years after Final Fantasy 12 was released, and fans had been eagerly anticipating the next installment. But when it finally arrived, there were mixed reactions, including complaints about its linearity, the lack of towns and NPCs, and the limited control over the characters. At the time, Square Enix kept its game production behind closed doors and didn't take in a lot of feedback — especially from Western fans.
The game has been revisited by many different Final Fantasy fans since then, and some, like myself, have come to love it again. Almost all staple entries in the series have found their way to modern consoles, so it's about time that the FF13 trilogy gets a remaster
I've been thinking about this. I agree. While I really disliked it at first I never played it again. After hating ff15 so damn much I just think it can't be worse then 15 and if I'm not mistaken atleast it's turn based. I need more of that in my life.
Recently replayed them and I agree a remaster would be great. The complaints about linearity are fair, but they only really apply to the first half of the first game and while I agree that it would've been nice to have proper towns, minigames and subquests, it didn't detract from the intriguing story, interesting characters, tactical gameplay and amazing soundtrack in my opinion.
XIII-2 fixes a lot of the issues of XIII and expands on the story in interesting ways. The combat and progression builds on top of the systems of XIII and the nonlinearity and discoverability of secrets is a big inprovement over the original game. It's easily the best game of the trilogy.
Lightning Returns was probably a bit too experimental for it's own good. It tried to reinvent the wheel for no reason. The solo party for most of the game and the outfit based combat felt like a downgrade over XIII-2 combat system. It does have a unique vibe, but the plot kinda goes off the rails and many of the story beats didn't land as much for me as they did in the first two games. The race against time aspect was an interesting idea, but it never felt like it mattered, because it wasn't much of a challenge to manage the remaining time even while doing all the subquests.
As we celebrate Final Fantasy’s 35th anniversary, let’s look back at the underrated soundtracks of the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy.
It's alright but I mean with so many other FF games it's not even in the top 10 for me
You just can't beat IX, VII, X and my personal favourite VIII when it comes to music
Even the theme song sucks, instead of just having an English version of the Japanese theme they got X Factors Leona Lewis to do the song which didn't sound like FF theme song.
I agree, regardless of the general consensus of the game itself, FF rarely lets down when it comes to the music at least.
Modder 'MJB' has released an AI-enhanced HD Texture Pack for Final Fantasy XIII-2.
Was a bummer not to see Dragon Quest X playable at the show but they probably don't want to put too much stuff out there at once.
They had a great tgs..........not included in those pics were kingdom hearts DDD, dragon quest monsters 3ds remake, chocobo racing
No Final Fantasy VS13 WTF
Ahhhhh, the feeling of nostalgia I get when I see the picture next to the article. I miss the days when you could explore worlds inside and out. Continent to continent, from town to castle. Now its from one corridor to the next corridor. I miss the good old rpg's where exploration actually felt meaningful. You actually had to find treasure, like Edrick's Sword in the middle of the poison swamp. The Metal Babble sword in the Cascade caves (by finding the cascade stones at night during the low tide, and yes, day and night cycles actually meant something), both weren't required to do but felt like it mattered just cause it made huge differences in the gameplay. Man I miss those rpgs!
BTW, I could make a whole list of things I miss from rpgs' but it wouldn't matter, devs these days couldn't make a great old school rpg to save their own lives'.
Also, lol @ their excuses on why they under perform. "games of the past are too cliche," or games those days "lack teh innovationz" when its these days devs are too lazy to add what used to be the standard to rpgs' cause graphics, frame rates, resolution, and online are all that matters to gamers these days.
@Magnus Screw FF13, its Kingdom Hearts, with blood, inside the FF Universe. Square has lost focus on what made their franchises special.
Why does Enix hate Sony? I want to play the Dragon Quest remakes of 1-3 on my PS3!
End of Line.
